The Song Is You episode six
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2016. We have some films for first-footing, a song for the season, and a look back at my take on the big news stories of the year. But last year was, of course, Frank Sinatra's centennial, and, before we finally close the book on 2015, here for the New Year holiday weekend is one last episode of The Song Is You. In this ancillary series to our Sinatra Songs of the Week, composers and lyricists tell the stories behind some of the great standards Sinatra sang. This ... |

Seasons of SteynA Three-Hundred-and-Sixty-Se'nnight of Steyn, 2015
In case you missed it, here's how the last year looked to Mark: JANUARY Wednesday January 7th was the first day of the Jihadist New Year in Europe.

The bad news is you're very credible") or on the fact that more recently Clinton was a frequent guest of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who flew the former President on ...

My friend Ingrid Carlqvist, whom I had the great pleasure to see during my trip to Copenhagen for the Motoon anniversary, provides a round-up from Sweden of a month in multiculturalism. Scandinavia is much admired by Bernie Sanders and other liberal progressives as the natural end-point of civilized societies. Sanders et al neglect the most salient feature of these Nordic boutique states: They are highly developed societies with a small population (Sweden has just under ten million people, ...
